I am only waiting for love to give myself up at last into his hands. That is why it is so late and why I have been guilty of such omissions. They come with their laws and their codes to bind me fast; but Ievade them ever, for I am only waiting for love to give myself up atlast into his hands. People blame me and call me heedless; I doubt not they are rightin their blame. The market day is over and work is all done for the busy. Thosewho came to call me in vain have gone back in anger. I am... Rabindranath Tagore
When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad. Being and non-being create each other.

And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for the universal brotherhood of man ... Mark Twain

Right now, scientists are in exactly the same position as Renaissance painters, commissioned to make the portrait the patron wants done, And if they are smart, they'll make sure their work subtly flatters the patron. Not overtly. Subtly. Michael Crichton
There are people who buy pictures because they were difficult to do, and are done. Such pictures are often only a record of pain and dull perseverance. Great works of art should look as though they were made in joy. Real joy is a tremendous activity, dull drudgery is nothing to it. Robert Henri
Elizabeth Barrett Browning quote: "Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done."
Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I can tell you that solitude. Is not all exaltation, inner space. Where the soul breathes and work can be done. Solitude exposes the nerve, Raises up ghosts. The past, never at rest, flows through it. May Sarton
